thoughts on empire of ai

ai... or llm's really. yeah, i'm reading a book called empire of ai by karen hao. if you want an over view of what open ai has done to get to where we are... or at least until a few years ago, it's a good book it just makes me hate everything though. i felt this way when i read careless people by sarah wynn-williams. the parallels there... aren't even that shocking honestly? sam pretty much…

grimshire

the idea of loss, and death is something that i struggle with. because i know i struggle with it, i tend to welcom eit with open arms. lately i guess i've been thinking in terms of "what if i lost all of that which i'm used to" that's a hard topic ... i don't think anyone has an ansewer to that. it's not like we ever really go into situations like that willingly, sometimes we do unwillingly…

un-single amy chan

this book is a fantastic primer/ begginer book on relationships. i happened to come across it when i visited my library, go support your local one and try out books from there! it takes you from realizing your issues, and making intentions, to how to date and find people in the current world, to keeping and deciding on the person you want to be with. it talks very broadly about all of those…

clipping. nothing is sacred

https://youtu.be/fIrpLBShe1A?si=z8Dz1fJ7P-zLHMF0 this is about this song. i don't remember when or how i came across it. but boy i love this song and this album. there is something that resonates to me with rap songs that have layers and layers to them. the more i've listenend to this one the more layers there seems to be. this group has put out some amazing halloween albums, and when i show them…

New post

you know something strange? i tend to make life harder for myself by doing strange things, like learning a knew keyboard layout and a new keyboard. so i got a voyager by zsa, and since that wasn't hard enough i've tried a few different layouts, and now i'm using the "workman" layout. i seem to like it and want to continue to use and learn it... i think it is a better layout, but that is probably…

1% good club

this is a self help... book. i say it like that because it's also a memoir of the individual writing it... and i liked the memoir of his life so far? it talks about several hard parts he's lived through and how his life has evolved slowly over time. really in the last few years since covid. has he started on this project and it's been a pretty good project it seems. the book is split into three…

setting up a website

so something i think would be useful to know is how to set up a website. it doesn't need to be anything that fancy, and it certainly doesn't need to do that much. i just have a weird idea that it would be a good idea to do that? but that's because i don't want to have some other service that does that for me, i just want to be able to do that myself. so in my schooling i've learned to actually…

ducks kate beaton

in continuing on with things that i have read since doing this blog... there is ducks. holy handgranade. this was an account of her time working in the oil sands in alberta. what made her go there, paying off debt, and the various challenges and people she faced while she was there. whenever i come across stories of sexual abuse like this i'm always dumbfounded and so disheartened that this sort…

the language of liars : s. l. huang

what an interesting science fiction book. it was so intriguing wrapping my head around all of the different languages being mentioned and imagining all of the different creatures being mentioned and involved as well. i wasn't expecting to like it going in, mostly because i haven't read much science fiction and i wasn't sure what to expect. the title and the cover art drew me in, and do i decided…

wisdom peace andrew zuckerman

i just found this book in our house. it's short, it reminded me of people of new york. a book i read showcasing pictures and peoples quotes around them. this one focuses on peace based quotes. it's from the mid 2000's so i dunno. that's when i grew up. so i remember people being very optimistic about the future of the world and how everything was going. but it certainly seems that since then...…
